SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 29, 2017--
Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), an Amazon.com company (NASDAQ:AMZN),

business-critical workloads on AWS, driving optimal operational
performance and customer experiences.

“Expanding our strategic relationship with AWS and making AWS our
preferred public cloud infrastructure provider aligns with our overall
technical strategy,” said Charles Weiner, Senior Vice President
Enterprise Infrastructure Services for The Walt Disney Company. “We have
had success modernizing our IT operations and transforming the digital
presence of our brands using AWS. We look forward to our continued
collaboration as we accelerate our Digital Platform migration to the
public cloud.”

its unmatched breadth of functionality, compute capacity, highly
scalable infrastructure, and proven operational expertise,” said Mike
Clayville, Vice President, Worldwide Commercial Sales at AWS. “For as
long as I can remember, Disney’s entertainment has brought millions of
